mlx-community/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct-3bit
This model was converted to MLX format from Qwen/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct using mlx-vlm version 0.3.4.
Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.
Use with mlx
pip install -U mlx-vlm
python -m mlx_vlm.generate --model mlx-community/Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct-3bit --max-tokens 100 --temperature 0.0 --prompt "Describe this image." --image <path_to_image>
